New & Used Books, Out of Print Book Searches, and More

At Coalesce Bookstore, we offer a carefully curated selection of new and used books across a wide range of genres, including fiction, non-fiction, biographies, history, science, philosophy, spirituality, and more. We pride ourselves on having something for everyone, from the latest bestsellers to rare and out-of-print books.

In addition to our extensive book collection, we also offer a variety of other services designed to enhance your reading experience. We offer gift certificates, cards, incense, socks, and many other gifts, making Coalesce the perfect destination for all your gifting needs. We can also arrange contact-less local delivery or curbside pickup, and we offer shipping for those who live further away.

Garden Wedding Chapel

Coalesce Bookstore is more than just a bookstore - it's also a beautiful garden wedding chapel. Our chapel is nestled among the trees and flowers in the heart of Morro Bay, and it provides a peaceful and serene setting for wedding ceremonies of all sizes. We are proud to offer affordable wedding packages that include use of the chapel, chairs, and a wedding coordinator. We also host concerts, special events, and book signings throughout the year.

Support Local Bookstores

At Coalesce Bookstore, we believe that local bookstores are an essential part of our communities. That's why we are proud to offer audiobooks through Libro.fm, an independent audiobook company that supports local bookstores. When you purchase audiobooks through Libro.fm, a portion of your purchase goes directly to supporting Coalesce Bookstore. We are also proud to offer new books through Bookshop.org, a platform that supports independent bookstores.
